Rob sleeps in!!!

Don’t get to excited, I only slept until 6:00 this morning, but for me that’s late. I probably would have slept longer but I was so congested and kept coughing so I finally got up and got started. I wanted to sit down and catch up on some of the TV shows that we have dvr’d but I ended up emptying the dish washer, doing the dishes from the night before and started catching up some laundry. The dishes from the night before were all mine. I had made some banana pudding to take to my brothers’ house for game night. He raved about the pudding so much and wanted the recipe. So I typed it up for him and emailed it to him tonight. He should feel honored because I have about 306 unread email messages and I am horrible about responding to them, let alone creating a new email.

We are about 1 – 2 weeks away from getting a new roof. We finally signed a contract with a roofer that we feel will do a good job and has not taken us to the cleaners. He even commented on my fishpond and in discussion he said when I am ready to get some more fish to call him up. He can get me some Kois for free. I just may take him up on that offer.

I hate to end on a sad note, but I am reading the news while I am writing this post and I have just learned that radio personality Paul Harvey has passed away at the age of 90. I have been listening to Paul Harvey since I was at least 13 years old. It goes without saying that he will be missed by a lot of people. So in honor of Mr. Harvey I will not end my blog tonight with my usual sign off (Blessings till I post again) Now that we know the rest of the story.....

Good Day.

Rob the Handy Man???

Add another success to the Rob fixed it list! Tonight we were at my Mother in Laws house and she opened her dresser drawer. I noticed something was not right the way it was wobbling. No sooner did I notice it she said “Rob I want you to look at this drawer for me” So she pulled the drawer out and I began my investigation. Before I could say a word Sheila said “Hey there is a screw. Well apparently the screw that held the drawer guide in place had come out. So I grabbed a screwdriver and screwed it back down tight. Well anyone could have done this, but tonight anyone was yours truly. And for those of you who are wondering. The toilet still works, and the two ceiling fans I installed are still running as they are supposed to do. I love it when things work out.

On a side note, I am playing around with the idea of doing some video blogs. They may never materialize as many of my ideas stay on the shelf. But lets file this one under the big possibility folder.

Blessings till I post again.

It's only Wednesday and this week seems like it will never end. Sheila and I finally got back to the Louisville Athletic Club last night. I was afraid that it was going to be packed because the parking lot was full. But to my surprise it was just right. I was able to get my favorite machine and Sheila took a turn on the treadmill. It's been hard getting back into the swing of things again since my 3 plus week allergy attack. This one hit me harder than any I had ever experienced. I'm not fully convinced that I have all of sinus junk out of my system yet. I am still very tired and it really takes all that is within me to do anything. But I know that I will get back to where I was several weeks ago.

We did get the big tree cut down that was nearly on our house. I am so thankful that the tree is gone. If not, I am positive that the wind storms that we had today would have finished it off. The guys who took the tree down were outstanding. One guy climbed that tree like he was a squirrel. Oh How long has it been since I rambled on about the squirrels??? OK I won't go there tonight.

Blessings till I post again.
